Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup with a Twist

My son LOVES soup! So I used to feel so guilty when he asks me for soup daily and I would give him Campbell’s from the can. I would sometimes try to make home made chicken noodle soup on a Sunday with a whole chicken and it would be great… but this method with an Instant Pot with split chicken breasts is WAY quicker! We added potatoes to the soup because we are a fan of potatoes in any brothy soup!

WARNING: Total Time has not accounted for time it takes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure! I forgot to write down how long it took my 8 QT cooker to pressurize. Time listed is from original recipe.
